CAAWS (Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport) is seeking organizations interested in hosting a Women and Leadership workshop in their community between December 2011 and March 2012.

The CAAWS Women and Leadership Program was developed to provide professional development and networking opportunities for women working or volunteering in Canada's sport system.

Developed by women for women, the workshops blend theory and practice to engage participants in learning new skills, sharing ideas and experiences, and applying new knowledge to real-life scenarios. Great as stand-alone events or combined with conferences, training events, or AGMs, the following workshops are available for delivery: Effective Communication, Conflict Resolution, Influencing Change, Networking, and Work-Life Balance. Workshops have already been booked with Wheelchair Basketball Canada, Water Polo Canada, and the Coaching Association of Ontario.
